Generating the Web Server Plug-in

Note: If an HTTP server instance has not been created and linked to a WebSphere Application Server profile as shown in the next chapter, no web server will exist.

Whenever you install new enterprise applications, or create new virtual hosts, you must regenerate the Web Server plug-in.

To generate the WebSphere plug-in for a single machine:

  1. Log on to the WebSphere Administrative console.

  3. Select the web server for which you want to generate plug-in (for example, IHS_HTTPSVR81), and click the Generate Plug-in button.

Note: Federated (Clustered) Web Servers. If you are using WebSphere Application Server and running JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as part of a federated (or clustered) web server, you may need to regenerate the WebSphere global plugin configuration after deploying the newest tools release. This is required when new servlets have been added to the tools release you are deploying.To update (regenerate) plugins, refer to the following procedure.

To update (regenerate) and propagate the global web server plugin configuration:

  1. Log on to the Deployment Manager Administration Console using the Dmgr01 profile.

    This image is described in the surrounding text.

  2. Expand the Environment node and select Update global Web server plug-in configuration.

  3. Review the content in the right-hand pane and note the location of the plug-in file in the description. For example, the description might say:

    The global plugin-cfg.xml file is placed in the %was_profile_home%/config/cells directory.

  4. Click the OK button.
